How we know it's one unit

Every brand here filed its model numbers under the same DOE basic model, TZ02. DOE's definition of a basic model (10 CFR 430.2) covers "all units of a given type of covered product (or class thereof) manufactured by one manufacturer" with "the same primary energy source" and nearly identical "electrical, physical, and functional (or hydraulic) characteristics that affect energy consumption, energy efficiency, water consumption, or water efficiency." So one set of DOE figures covers every name on the list. Both brands file TZ02 itself as their model number, so the number alone doesn't say which of them builds it.

Brands may still differ in color, controls, accessories, warranty and support. Full record and every model number: Trazico TZ02.

How much does the TZ02 cost to run?

6 pints/day at an IEF of 1.3 L/kWh takes 2.18 kWh a day running nonstop at DOE's test conditions: about 40¢ a day, or $11.90 for 30 days. Real use cycles on and off with the humidity, so that's the upper figure for a day of nonstop running.

At 18.16¢ per kWh, the US average residential price for August 2026 (EIA Electric Power Monthly, table 5.6.A). Worked out from the certified figures.

Who makes the TZ02, and is it the same under every brand?

Who makes the VEAGASO TZ02?
DOE's records don't say. The VEAGASO TZ02 is filed under basic model TZ02 along with the Trazico TZ02. Both brands file that same number as their model, and DOE's database has no manufacturer field.
Is the VEAGASO TZ02 the same as the Trazico TZ02?
Yes, by DOE's records. Both are filed under basic model TZ02 and list the same certified figures: 6 pints/day and IEF 1.3.
Which brand of TZ02 is cheapest to run?
They tie: every brand files 6 pints/day and IEF 1.3, so each costs about 40¢ a day to run nonstop at DOE's test conditions.
